Making the source tarball
The source tarball includes some generated files, such as Parser.hs (generated from Parser.y.pp). We therefore need to do a build before generating the source tarball.
First check out the branch, and ensure that the version number and RELEASE near the top of configure.ac are correct. Then:
$ perl boot $ ./configure $ make $ make sdist
You should now have source tarballs sdistprep/ghc-<VERSION>-src.tar.bz2 and sdistprep/ghc-<VERSION>-testsuite.tar.bz2.
